Manchester United vs Man City LIVE score and goal updates in Manchester derby as Fred starts

Man United take on Man City in the Premier League on Saturday and we'll bring you updates

Manchester United are set to play Manchester City at Old Trafford in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon..

United suffered a heavy 6-3 defeat in the first Manchester derby of the season at the Etihad in October and that scoreline was made to look better by two late goals from Anthony Martial, who is a doubt for today's clash at Old Trafford.

However, Erik ten Hag's side have made progress since that derby defeat, as they have gone eight games undefeated through the festive period and beyond, which has given supporters optimism for a positive result against City.

City have the challenge of defending their Premier League title this term but they have not seemed at their best. Arsenal are setting the pace at the top of the table, despite Erling Haaland's prolific form, whilst the Blues also suffered a shock defeat in midweek.

In regard to team news, Donny van de Beek has been ruled out for the season, Jadon Sancho and Diogo Dalot are unavailable but Martial starts. City will also be without England defender John Stones, who has a fitness issue.
